Market Segmentation 

The global tuna peptides market is divided into source and application.

Global Tuna Peptides Market, By Source:

Why does the sea tuna segment hold the largest revenue share in the global tuna peptides market, accounting for approximately 74.4% of the total market during the forecast period?

The sea tuna segment led the tuna peptides market, generating the largest revenue share. The sea tuna is driven because tuna fish have a higher concentration of beneficial substances. In comparison to peptides found from farmed fish, peptides found in open-sourced wild tuna had stronger antioxidant activity and antihypertensive properties. Tuna provides higher yields of powerful peptide extraction due to their feeding habits in seawater and healthier growing environments. Additionally, the appeal of sustainable market sectors and natural sources of seawater tuna is the reason for the growing demand for wild caught fish.      

The farmed tuna segment in the tuna peptides market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The farmed tuna segment is growing because of the increasing need for ecological and production stabilization. Therefore, farmed tuna is a more sustainable source and scalable to seawater tuna due to the growing instances of overfishing and the depletion of wild fish supplies. Aquaculture feed formulation efficiency, new genetic strains, feeding methods, and breeding technologies result in higher quality and more affordable farmed tuna peptides.

Global Tuna Peptides Market, By Application:

Why does dietary supplement represent the largest application segment, capturing approximately 42.2% market share during the forecast period in the global Tuna Peptides market?  

The dietary supplement segment held the largest market share in the tuna peptides market, because individuals are becoming more conscious of goods that have healthful qualities, particularly those nutrients that support and strengthen the immune, metabolic, and cardiac systems. Collagen containing tuna peptides, which function as a bioactive substance, have demonstrated beneficial impacts in several health benefits. Additionally, this development supports the industry by illustrating the shift in the use of supplements based on tuna peptide.   

The functional foods and beverages segment in the tuna peptides market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period, due to consumers' increased desire for products that would improve their health. The Food and Drug Administration of the United States has recognized that consumers are becoming more aware of functional foods on a global scale. Furthermore, advancements in the food processing sector improve the effectiveness of adding bioactive substances like tuna peptides.
